Rebel

I just love Beverly Jenkins! I haven't read any of the LeVeq books before (and I don't know whether I will or not, they're a little older than I usually go). but Reconstruction-era New Orleans is such a fascinating setting, and one I don't know much about, but you can tell on every page of this book the huge amount of research that went into it. I always learn something when I read Beverly Jenkins, and I enjoy myself as well!
